About the Role:

We're hiring our first Developer Experience (DevEx) Engineer — a role at the intersection of platform engineering, tooling, automation, and AI-first development practices. You’ll own the systems, standards, and integrations that make our engineering teams faster, more consistent, and better equipped to leverage agentic workflows across a multi-language, multi-product codebase spanning Ruby on Rails, PHP/Laravel, C#, and Java.

This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role. You’ll partner closely with engineering leadership to define and execute our 2026 AI-first engineering roadmap, serving as the connective tissue between our tools, teams, and processes.

What to Expect:

• Contribute meaningfully to the engineering organization at both the individual and team level.
• Serve as an internal advocate and educator for developer tooling — run training sessions, labs, and internal demos.
• Build and evolve the tooling, workflows, and platform capabilities that enable engineers to deliver high-quality software efficiently.
• You will own the GitHub platform, pipeline and repository standards at Veracross.
• Modernize and standardize our development ecosystem — from repository structure to CI/CD pipelines to AI-assisted workflows.
• Use AI agents and copilots to generate code, debug issues, write tests, and optimize performance across multiple stacks.
• Create best practices for AI instructional files accross repositories and push those standards and best practices forward.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance on best practices, tooling, and AI-first development patterns.
• Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to translate specifications into efficient, repeatable workflows.
• Integrate with other product areas, ensuring DevEx tooling supports systems like our SIS, Admissions, and Fundraising platforms.
• Enhance internal tools and developer workflows through automation, intelligent integrations, and lifecycle-spanning pipelines.
• Assist in documenting systems, architecture, and engineering processes, ensuring clarity for both humans and AI agents.
• Work to drive meaningful context into the AI development ecosystem at Veracross to enable the AI tooling to probvde better and more robust options for engineers.
• Build and maintain integrations with third-party systems commonly used in our domain.
